INSPIRED BY CHEF MIMMO
“I ALWAYS WANTED TO CREATE A PLACE WITH DELICIOUS FOOD AND WHERE EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME, LIKE THE SHOW CHEERS”
“Oye Chico!” It’s like saying “Hey buddy!” when you spot a friend across the room. That’s the spirit behind Chico Cantina, a place where good food, good vibes, and good company always come together. It’s the kind of spot where everyone’s welcome, and the conversation flows as easily as the margaritas.
At the heart of it all is Owner and Executive Chef Mimmo Alboumeh — born in Lebanon, seasoned by Spain and Italy, and now serving up flavor and friendship in Atlanta for over 30 years.
Known for his passion, creativity, and charm, Chef Mimmo isn’t just one of Atlanta’s most loved chefs, he’s the kind of guy who remembers your name, your favorite dish, and probably your last brunch order. His menus blend locally sourced ingredients with global flair, inventive cocktails, and brunches worth waking up for.
Beyond the kitchen, Mimmo’s all about community. He loves hosting events, supporting local causes, and turning every gathering into something special.
